Quiet footsteps one and onward
There I touched my land and pride
Left my footprints and possessions
Walked with peace and love inside

Then the land it called as children
Please do stop and spend your time
So I sat upon this heaven
On a land that then was mine

The spirit was consoled and happy
Life was true, a treat of bliss
Mind not closed to stress or hardship
Moment’s touch or beauties kiss

Free of what some call possessions
Free of debt, the weekly grind
Loving life and too each moment
Finding what the lucky find

So here I live for every moment
Finding what I dream comes true
Sharing joy of every moment
Finding more each day to do

Hi Dixie, glad you could visit and reply; we all run out of time too quickly each day and it's when we are doing what we love to do; the body says enough and we have to listen to it. Well here it is 5.30am and I am on my way to work, refreshed for the day, have a great one and take care.

No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more lookin' over my shoulder {T.Tritt}
